DeSantis erases two districts that sent Black people to Congress

[Guno צְבִי]

In recent months, as state legislatures gerrymandered voters of color across the South, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) eliminated two heavily Black congressional districts. The Republican-controlled Florida legislature this week approved a voting map drawn by DeSantis that eliminates districts now represented by Reps. Val Demings and Al Lawson, both Black Democrats. The Senate approved the map earlier this week, and the state House adopted it in a party-line vote on Thursday after Black lawmakers temporarily halted proceedings with a sit-in protest.
